Enjoy: All drum brake ride.

You guys are pretty savvy here. What have you put together as your end of the world as we know it bike. The one you will go to as your primary mode of transportation if gas no longer becomes readily available. I am not a pepper beyond being ready for a natural catastrophe (probably earthquake...

Ok, I am in. This will be the motivation I need to find the parts and put together this project. Nothing too exciting. My main goal will be to use only parts that were available in the late 70's and complete this bike as a true Marin style hybrid Klunker. No fancy paint, although I may sand down...

May your year be full of wonderful projects!

In for fresh paint. Cant wait.

Well before any rules are set, I admit, I started my project several weeks ago before this contest started. That said, I am new to bike restore and need all the extra time I can get. This will force me to figure out how to post pictures here and be a less of a lurker and more of a contributor to...

New to this and need your help please. I am painting my old 41 Schwinn using U-POL rattle can paint. I plan to do a two tone color with original graphics. My question is when do I apply the clear coat? After each color is applied, or just once after both colors have been painted. To the best of...
